Blake Lively attends Met Gala hours after settling 'It Ends With US' lawsuit
Blake Lively walked the Met Gala red carpet hours after she and Justin Baldoni reached a settlement ending their legal dispute over the 2024 film It Ends With Us. Lively had sued Baldoni, accusing him of conspiring with publicists to damage her reputation during the film’s contentious production. The settlement, announced Monday, formally ends that lawsuit and removes a legal cloud tied to the movie. Lively’s Met Gala appearance signals she will continue public promotion as the film moves forward.
Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have settled her workplace sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit two weeks before it was set to go to trial. I’m relieved we don’t have to do Depp v. Heard again and I’m glad that her suit exposed a Hollywood smear machine that also influences politics and beyond.
oh thank god, I cannot see another picture of that man's smug face
I am not a Blake Lively fan, but the grossness of that man made me cheer for her.
I had never heard of Justin Baldoni and I hope to never see his name again.
but lucky for us we now know the level of Gross Creep of everyone who seeks out his crisi pr firm www.nytimes.com/2026/05/01/n...
I’m glad that we don’t have to see streamers give surface level commentary on what was likely to be a complex trial with many competing biases at play. It’d be Depp v Heard all over again, but with an emboldened anti-women ecosystem.
I really hated that movie. He was incredibly creepy. I wasn’t at all surprised when their conflict IRL came to light. It was like he made it so he could play himself IRL.
Finally It Ended With Them
I never got past the legal standard that as an ‘independent contractor’ she lacked the power imbalance to be sexually harassed…
More important than the Lively/Baldoni smear campaign, was the underlying sexual harassment -which a judge threw out, deciding she wasn't an employee (?)- a blow for all preyed upon actors. Baldoni was the producer, director, & costar -showing up alone with new nude scenes he insisted they rehearse
Just in time for Met Gala. Who needs billionaires influencing anything.
Oh good. Hopefully I can hear less of this on my obligated listening to Candace Owens, who sided with Baldoni the entire time because she always sides with creepy dudes. Her work is the subject of my podcast. Celebrity bullshit is always bleh. Glad its over...I hope.
and all that for a bad movie, that felt like an after school special by Lifetime, lol
Baldoni hired a PR company to smear Lively after her complaint. Gee, I wonder why?
Now all we need to do is ensure that Justin Baldoni never works again, so no other women have to go through this.
Sick of rich folk just getting richer. Just another one that definitely fits into the WHO CARES category.
The one thing we don't get to see now is the veredictum juris. Trying legal cases in court, for its faults, is far more reliable than trying them in social media.
Meanwhile they could have done good stuff for Gaza but that requires courage and morality.
I’m a little sad she didn’t get to be vindicated. But I hope she’s pleased by the outcome. I read the texts she submitted, the ones where he’s clearly planning to destroy her career and gleefully cheers the fake bad press he paid to have planted. 🚩🚩🚩🚩 he’s every bit the abuser in his film
She had all her claim thrown out. She will never work again. She is a bully and Ryan is too. I hope they paid dearly for her disgusting ego trip.
In a joint statement, lawyers for the actors said they hoped the settlement would bring "closure." n.pr/4tQn0mN
It did end with them after all
Why should anyone but them care one bit. Look at this fucking world.
Fuck the Daily Mail who daily published shit against Blake lively I don’t know what the hell happened, but man they went after that girl with daggers
You know you’re getting old when you have no idea who these people are.
Too late, the damage is already done. Most of the population probably either doesn't care, or never wants to see Lively, Reynolds, or Baldoni's faces ever again.
Blake Lively made a surprise appearance at the #MetGala on the same day her legal dispute with “It Ends With Us” director and co-star Justin Baldoni ended. bit.ly/49bymtg
Caring next to nothing about her, can we instead talk about Jeff Bezos sponsoring the gala while continuing to lay off Amazon employees?
I would LOVE to see a French Theme at the Gala....say...France 1793-94 or so...
So glad her chute opened.
This is grotesque when you think of what is going on in this country and in this planet. Shame on all of these mega rich soulless people that cannot see past the end of their nose. And fuck Bezos.
Sorry but that dress is rediculous
I don't like Blake Lively or Ryan Reynolds Just my opinion. Did she plot to take-over a movie, while employed simply as an actress on the movie? Did she try to destroy a man, to get the take-over done? Did we find out recently that she committed perjury? 'Delete the dailies' 🤷♀️ IMHO, allegedly.
i mean good for her moving forward but let's be real — celebrity legal drama is just a distraction from the fact that we're all struggling under the same broken system
